Alice Temple
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alice Temple is an English musician and songwriter. She first became a scenester hanging out with a post-Culture Club Boy George in New York City in the mid-1980's. She is now best known for her collaboration with Eg White under the name Eg and Alice.
A Londoner by birth, Alice Temple was the first female UK BMX champion. Later a club kid and musician, Alice Temple began her music career with collaborator Eg White at the age of twenty. Their collaboration, Eg and Alice, released only one album, "24 Years of Hunger" (1991). It was described by All Music Guide as "one of the finest, most refined and fully realized recordings of the era, employing a much more sophisticated and romantic style than anything else out of England at the time".
After a short stint in Los Angeles, Temple returned to London. While writing and collaborating with White, Temple caught the attention of James Lavelle, one half of the electronic group UNKLE. She was then brought in to contribute to UNKLE's "Psyence Fiction" album. Her piece for the album, "Bloodstain," won her critical acclaim. She returned to working with White, and together they put together Temple's 1999 debut solo album "Hang Over", released on V2. She is also featured on the B side of the UNKLE single 'Burn my Shadow', on the track 'Mistress'.
She had a well-publicized relationship with model Rachel Williams[1]
